Chapter 275 The British Sewers

Although I didn't continue to talk about the topic just now, this question has been lingering in my mind.The more I think about it, the more I feel the seriousness of the problem.I know China's national conditions, and it may be nothing during the war.But once the war is over, it is impossible to allow organizations like the Tomb Raiders Union to survive.Now that I am the president of the Tomb Robbers Union, it is impossible not to think about this issue.But communication is very inconvenient now, and I can't immediately contact the conference, hold a remote meeting to study or something.I just want to get things done here as soon as possible, and this issue must be brought to the most important position after I go back.

The following meetings were still presided over by Hanks.In the spacious meeting room, there is a projector in front of it.A top view of London has been released at this point.

"The information we have now is that most of the vampires are hiding in London's sewers during the day. This is also the difficulty of the operation." Hanks said, clicking on the computer in front of him, and the projector screen immediately After the change, under the display of computer special effects, the rolling surface was rolled up like paper, revealing the tunnel below and other results.

"Britain has the most complicated sewer system in the world. In the early years, there were not so many large buildings, and many rivers ran through London." Hanks said, "At that time, people only needed to throw garbage into the river, and it would go smoothly. Float away. But with the development, more and more garbage is thrown into these rivers, and the rivers in the world have become open sewers. The smell is stinking all day long, and the plague is frequent. As a last resort, people sealed the top of the river , forming a structure similar to tunnels. These tunnels are the main body of the sewer system that has been used in Britain to this day. A total of sixteen rivers flow through London, most of which will converge into the Thames. So the current sewage treatment terminal is The Thames River. In recent years, more and more high-rise buildings have been built on the surface, and the shadow of the original river can no longer be seen from the ground. We have also artificially trimmed these underground rivers to make them as much as possible. The structure of the sewer. However, these structures are so complicated that even the most experienced sewer cleaners cannot guarantee that they will not get lost underneath. This is also the difficulty of our search."

I looked at the pattern on the projector. Sixteen thick red lines indicated where the main sewer road was.Thin blue lines extend from red lines, and these things are all over the city's sewer capillary system.However, these signs are also very limited, and no one knows how many such sewer systems there are.There may be some places that have not been visited by living people for hundreds of years. It has to be said that this structure is very similar to the sewage system built by the trade union in S City.Originally, the sewage system in S city was used for training of union members.The difference is that the one in London is definitely more complicated and dirtier than the one in City S.But essentially there should be no difference.From this point of view, the members of the Tomb Robbers Guild had actually practiced fighting in this environment a long time ago.This can be regarded as an advantage.

But this time it's not acting, there is a real threat in the sewer.A little carelessness can kill, and the available information is quite limited.It is impossible for us to expect these British people to complete the search work.But to search the sewer system of the entire London is a lot of work for the twelve A-level members I brought.For safety reasons, it is impossible for me to spread the personnel too widely.But in the face of such a complex underground structure, I only thought of one game - Dungeon and Warriors.

"Can't it be deduced through Tianxing Fengshui?" Sun Tingting asked at this time.

"It can only deduce the general direction, which has no practical value. If the truth is too advanced, it will be punished by God." I shook my head and said.

"I have a question." A member asked at this time, I still remember his name is Jia Shu.Nodding for him to continue.

"Since this vampire has already grasped the key to the space, could their own hiding place be in another space?" After saying this, the entire conference room fell silent.Everyone had such an expression on their faces.Indeed, we are here to solve space problems.But the problem to be faced now is the space problem.

"Probably not." Hanks said, "According to our monitoring and investigation distributed in London, there are about [-] to [-] vampires in London. These number of vampires are hidden in the sewer, which is enough to hide. No You need to do something like that."

"Investigate the water quality of the sixteen main sewers where the Thames exits, and there should be some different responses. Give me some samples, and I may find some clues if I try it." I thought for a while and said.In this way, the first meeting is over.Soon, what I asked for was brought.For these water bodies, general scientific methods should not be able to find anything.But some ancient techniques can still work.There may be differences between the ancient technologies of China and the West, but they are essentially the way of heaven itself.There are no regional differences in Tianxing Fengshui.Several Qimen Dunjias were arranged in front of them, and the liquid was dripped in them.The gossip disk on one side rotated, and the hexagrams that matched Tianxing Fengshui gradually came to fruition.Finally, the eyes fell on two of them.

"Get ready to go down." I said holding the two test tubes, "Go down here. Start investigating from here."

We have not provided any evidence for the British side, and it is not necessary.We bring our own equipment.At the beginning, the British side asked us if we would send some soldiers to follow.I directly refused.They didn't understand the battle ahead, they were just dragging their feet.

We have special equipment for dealing with sewers.It is almost a fully enclosed isolation suit, not so much a chemical protective suit, but more like a lightweight space suit.A glass mask slightly larger than the head is placed on the head, and there are two ways of oxygen supply.Usually breathe through the filter, but sometimes, some special harmful gases cannot be filtered out. At critical times, it can be converted into a fully enclosed type, and the carbon dioxide exhaled by itself can be converted into oxygen through the internal sodium peroxide, and circular breathing is performed.

In terms of weapons, we did not carry firearms either.Previous battles on the British side had proven that small-caliber bullets were useless against vampires.It is impossible for us to carry heavy weapons in the sewers.In its place were mercury-cast and silver-plated knives, and flashbangs.Silver and mercury are proven deadly to vampires, and light also has a certain effect.With just these things, we went through a large sewage treatment plant into the sewer system.

Because this is a large sewage treatment station, the first section of the space is quite spacious and bright.Seven or eight meters wide, like a subway.But as it went deeper, the tunnel became narrower and narrower, and finally it could only accommodate two people walking side by side.The sound of splashing water under his feet was disturbing. Although the filter had filtered out the foul smell in the sewer, the muddy and viscous liquid under his feet was also disgusting.Some sticky places, like walking in a swamp.

"Do you know? One of the ten worst ways to die in the world is that a person fell into the sewer drainage system and was drowned alive by the sewage." I felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and I wanted to tell a joke to relieve it Take a look at the atmosphere.However, it seems that the desired effect has not been achieved, but it has disgusted some people.Sure enough, a group of people all looked up at me.The eyes are extremely complicated.I coughed in embarrassment and moved on.

"I said, can you remember the route we took?" After walking for a while, Sun Tingting suddenly asked me.We wandered around in this dark place underground, and we didn't know where we went. Most people would have lost their way long ago.I pulled out a map of Great Britain, pointed to a spot on it and said, "We're directly below here now."

"Do you know the way?" Sun Tingting asked a little strangely.

"I don't know, but I remember the road we have traveled so far, and the angle of the turn. The calculated route is here." I said, and at this moment, I suddenly stopped everyone from talking, and they were all quiet down.After a while I said, "The water is rising."

Everyone immediately looked down, and they found that the water level had only touched the ankle at first, but now it was almost below the knee.

"Let's go to the lower place." Sun Tingting said.

"No way, we're definitely not going that low," I said, "and it's high tide!"

All of a sudden everyone understood that the Thames River is connected to the North Sea, and the tide of the sea will act on the river due to the siphon effect.The tide rises outside, and the tide rises in the sewer.Originally, this was nothing special.It happens every day.And sometimes the tide is too high, it will also cause the sewer to return to the tide.But this kind of thing rarely happens.

"We won't be so unlucky." I muttered subconsciously, and in just a short time, the water level had already reached my thigh.All of a sudden everyone was a little anxious.I remembered the cold joke I just said about drowning in the sewer, and it doesn't seem to be a joke now.

"Keep going. The water level will not increase infinitely. Even if it is filled with water, our equipment can support one hour of internal circulation breathing." I thought about it and still didn't let it out, and it is really unnecessary now.For a professional team like ours, such a problem is not a problem at all.No real damage other than nausea.As expected, less than an hour later, the water level stopped rising.At this time, it was just below our waist.And just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, someone exclaimed, "What is this!"

I hurriedly looked back, only to find a fish the size of a human head biting the sleeve of the man behind.
